What It's Really Like to Be a Member of the Royal Guard

  • The Royal Guards have become one of the sights and symbols of London and the UK. There are many myths and famous facts connected with their job and rules: like, for example, that they aren't allowed to talk. Turns out, it's possible, but only in very specific circumstances: if people get too close to them or become aggressive. You'll also never see one of them smiling for a selfie as they're not even allowed to chuckle! And it was rumored that if they do, they'll receive a fine of about $200.

    3:40 The reason we took them up is because the grenadiers defeated the French at Waterloo and wore their hats as a way to remember it! Also the chinstraps don’t serve much of a purpose anymore, they were to protect soldiers faces from cavalry sabres.

    Most of the information in this video is incorrect. For example, the Grenadier Guards have a WHITE plume on left side of the bearskin, and, there are only FIVE regiments that wear the bearskin - The Grenadiers, The Coldstream, The Irish, The Scots and The Welsh. Please double check the information you already have.

    If they are never allowed to move or talk much then obviously people could just get right by them. You’d think guards would be allowed to move freely. Especially hauling tail if anyone runs away from them.
